Considered one of the greatest student sections in college basketball, the Izzone is MSU’s dedicated student fanbase, rallying each season around the men’s and women’s teams. The campout serves as part of the kickoff to the season, with students joining head coaches Tom Izzo and Robyn Fralick and their respective teams for Michigan State Madness, then heading out to their campsites to spend the night.

Tom Izzo greets fans at Michigan State Madness. A surprise video by lifelong friend and former Northern Michigan University quarterback Steve Mariucci informed Izzo that his basketball jersey, No. 10, will be retired by Northern Michigan University in celebration of his career as both a collegiate player and coach, which began at NMU in 1974. To begin the season, Spartans will play an exhibition match against the NMU Wildcats in Marquette, Michigan, on Oct. 13. Photo by Jonah Brown.
